Importing a SASS file from outside of a rails app

Question

I'm trying to @import an external SASS file to my rails app with no luck.

The folder structure is as follows

- /
  - External_dir
    - sass
      - main.sass <-- file I need

  - Rails_App
    - app
      - assets
        - stylesheets
          - app.sass <-- file where it should be imported

I've tried using relative paths (../../../../External_dir/sass/main), absolute paths (/External_dir/sass/main) and symlinks but nothing is working. Does anyone have any ideas? I can't continue without these other styles and I don't want to have to copy them over. Thanks in advance.

As cimmanon said in the comments this is a duplicate of SASS: Import a file from a different directory?

The issue had to do with the @imports in the external SASS files using relative paths that the current directory wasn't able to access. By updating the @imports to paths accessible from the current working directory, the SASS was able to import correctly.
